    Veet means beyond, nastiko means no --
    beyond no-saying. The religions in the past
    have been teaching people a kind of negative
    attitude.

    The old religions depend on the don't: don't do
    this, don't do that. Their whole approach is: How
    to negate life? They think that by negating life
    they will be coming closer to god, and that is just
    absurd. Life is god -- to negate it is to negate
    god himself.

    One needs a great yea-saying heart. And the
    yes has to be so total that it can contain the no
    in itself. The light has to be so total that
    darkness becomes just a part in it.

    Life has to be so total that death becomes just
    an episode in it. And when one can say the
    great yes to all that is -- to the darkness, to the
    light, to the agonies of life and to the ecstasies
    of life, to the body and to the soul, to the earth
    and to the sky -- when one can say yes to all
    that is, it becomes a sacred yes.

    And my sannyas is based on the sacred yes. It
    is a totally new vision...
